The Brooklyn band Wilder Maker is a collective built around the multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Gabriel Birnbaum. Across three EPs, the band has explored recesses and vistas of the folk-rock continuum both near and far, whether conjuring bleary-eyed, distortion-tinged jangle or drifting through a noisy haze as though lost in a reefer dream. Surrounded by an excellent cast of players and supported by the bewitching singer Katie Von Schleicher, Wilder Maker recalls bands like San Fermin and Broken Social Scene, acts that have used big ensembles to turn the wild thoughts of an isolated writer or two into wonderful records. The forthcoming third installation in a series of EPs, titled Everyday Crimes Against Objects of Desire, is winsome, quixotic and terrific. —Grayson Haver Currin
